**If only Hamburg East is online, it will cross-couple both frequencies of HAME + HAMW.**
**Area of Responsibility:** The Hamburg Approach airspace reaches up to FL105 and covers Hamburg Fuhlsbüttel (EDDH), Hamburg Finkenwerder (EDHI) and Lübeck Blankensee (EDHL). To the west of the Elbe River, the AoR is divided. The lower part up to FL65 belongs to the Friesland Sector (EDDW\_APP), between FL65 and FL105, HAMW is responsible.The airports Lübeck Blankensee (EDHL) and Hamburg Finkenwerder (EDHI) are covered by HAME in the absence of a tower. Operations at Hamburg Finkenwerder (EDHI) can be in parts/temporarily delegated to EDDH\_TWR, e.g. for a touch and go of a VFR pilot in the EDDH\_TWR CTR.

Airspace C (HX) sectors east and west of Hamburg are generally considered active and may be deactivated on pilot's request. Airspace D (HX) west of Finkenwerder is generally active if RWY 05 is in use at Hamburg-Finkenwerder.

Individual coordination and operating changes can be made anytime depending on the expected traffic. **Approach types:**Runway** | **SRA** | **RNP** | **ILS CAT I / LOC** | **ILS CAT II** | **ILS CAT III** |

If possible, all flights to/from Hamburg and Finkenwerder should be kept within controlled airspace (TMZ/D/C). In Lübeck, the procedure is not applicable due to the airspace structure.
### Hambruch Arrival Hamburg Arrival is responsible for all arriving aircraft at EDDH and EDHI. There is no area of responsibility for Hamburg Arrival. The transfer from Bremen Radar to Hamburg Arrival shall be done when the aircraft is cleared for the downwind as coordinated. #### Target separation *In principle, these values are to be understood as minima and should be extended upon request from a tower for VFR traffic. The separations are chosen in a way that the gaps for departures are sufficiently large. Smaller spacing values can be coordinated at any time.* **The wake turbulence separation must be assured!**Departure Runway | Arrival Runway | Target Separation (nm) |
